Deliver galleries without bouncing
Full-resolution images are too big for email. Many receiving servers refuse messages above roughly 20–25 MB, and a bounced delivery email looks worse than a late one. Send a short message with a link to your gallery or file-sharing service, and keep attachments to a few low-resolution previews.
Turn enquiries into bookings
- Reply from the same address the client wrote to, so the thread stays together
- Keep a saved reply with your packages and availability, then personalise the first line
- Send contracts and invoices from your domain — clients are more likely to open and pay them
- Use a text signature with your site and phone number; image-only signatures often arrive as attachments
